UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE JOSIAH ANONEY, OF MAMARONECK, NEW YORK.

IMPROVEMENT IN STEAM-TRAPS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,400, dated September 29, 1874; application filed August 10, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN ANONEY, of Mamaroneck, in the county-of Westchester and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Steam-Trap; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure lis a sectional elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan view.

The invention will rst be fully described, andthen pointed out in the claim.

A is a feed-water vessel, provided with a tube, B, passing eentrally therethrough, having slots b b, and having a valve,`C, which shuts off the steam that enters the enlargement B1 through the live-steam inlet B2. The weighted lever D connects with the valve-rod so that the va'lve maybe opened easily at any pressure of steam. E is ya pipe, having checkvalve F, and through which the feed-water is entered, while H is the pipe leading to the water-space of boiler, and having a checkvalve, H. J is the oat which surrounds tube J3, and, sliding thereon, lifts the valve-rod by the pin K. As usual the float rises with the inlet of water, unseats the valve, and admits steam, which forces the water through pipe H to the boiler. As the water falls the valve C closes and water rushes in.

By interposing the tube between the valverod and the float the said rod can always move with perfect freedom, and without receiving any interference from the float.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is- The combination, with valve-rod and oat, of the intervening tube/B, as and for the purpose specified.

JOSIAH ANONEY.
